High 6 is a West Coast IPA brewed by Highland Park Brewery as a celebration of the brewery’s sixth anniversary. It sits at around 7.2% ABV and pours a clear, light-gold color, reflecting a classic West Coast approach.
The hop bill features Mosaic, HBC 586 and Idaho 7, varieties known for citrus, tropical fruit and light resinous notes. On the nose, it delivers aromas of mandarin, blackberry and a subtle coconut nuance, backed by a touch of pine freshness typical for the style.
The flavor is dry and clean, with a pronounced yet balanced bitterness that lingers in the finish without becoming harsh. The texture is light to medium-bodied, with lively carbonation that enhances its refreshing character.
High 6 represents a modern interpretation of the West Coast IPA - precise, focused and without unnecessary sweetness or haze. This beer appeals to drinkers who appreciate clarity and hop expression, letting the hops take the lead without distractions.
It pairs exceptionally well with food such as citrus-marinated chicken, spicy shrimp, or tacos with cilantro, where the bitterness cuts through richness and highlights spice and acidity. High 6 is a clear demonstration of Highland Park Brewery’s philosophy: fresh, local, and driven by quality over volume.
